The final day of the show

The size of the show is an indication of how well this industry has been performing and now, the world economy is also starting to look better. Exhibitors at the show have reported having had a great time in terms of work and networking opportunities.

Targeted visitors have resulted in some serious business. Nilpeter, for instance, has sold 18 presses in the last three days in various parts of the world and it is looking at crossing the mark of 20 on the last day. Gallus has sold three presses in India alone.

It has also been a good show in terms of forging new alliances. US-based iSys Label announced Caterpillar Signs, a Gujarat based Indian company as its Indian partner. Hyderabad-based Pragati Pack won two awards – one each in UV Flexo and Security label at the annual Narrow Web Print Awards which were held during the show.

All in all it has been a brilliant show for the Indian exhibitors and visitors. As they say in Hindi, the show was ‘paisa wasool’ (worth the investment).
